Body-Worn Tactical Electronics

Mission

Harrow Defense builds body-worn electronic systems that close critical capability gaps for operators in contested and high-risk environments. We develop low-SWaP hardware engineered for the tactical edge — where size, weight, power, and survivability are non-negotiable.

Our systems are designed for the people who operate beyond reliable infrastructure: dismounted warfighters, law enforcement tactical teams, and emergency first responders.

Applications

We focus on problem sets where current solutions are too large, too fragile, or too dependent on infrastructure that doesn't exist at the point of need.

Personnel Tracking

Real-time location and status of distributed team members in GPS-denied and communications-degraded environments.

Tactical Communications

Low-power mesh networking for dismounted teams operating beyond the reach of existing communications infrastructure.

Physiological Monitoring

Body-worn sensing for operator health and readiness — from heat casualty prevention to real-time triage support.

Edge Processing

On-body compute for time-critical data fusion and decision support where cloud connectivity is unavailable or unacceptable.

Technology

We design hardware and firmware from the ground up for the constraints of body-worn tactical use. Our work spans the full stack from antenna and RF through embedded software — optimized for environments where every gram, milliwatt, and millisecond matters.

Embedded Systems Custom hardware and firmware designed for extreme SWaP constraints and sustained field operation.
Mesh Networking Self-forming, self-healing radio networks that operate without fixed infrastructure.
Edge Compute On-device processing and sensor fusion for real-time decision support at the point of need.
Ruggedized Design Systems built for shock, moisture, temperature extremes, and the realities of sustained operational wear.
